Tropical Update: Watching area of possible development
Gulf of Mexico is quiet now. But we are watching another tropical wave in the SW Atlantic that could go through some very slow development as it reaches the western Caribbean by Friday. There's a LOW 20% chance of tropical development late this week over the western Caribbean and eventually the southern Gulf of Mexico. If this system develops, it would likely stay south of the Houston area and push into Mexico. But keep it here for the latest updates and check out Fox Local for the latest on the tropics and weather where you live!

Tropical Update: Chance for tropical wave in Gulf
Tropical Storm Alberto is long gone but two additional areas are being monitored for Tropical development. There's a 50-60% chance that a low in the SW Atlantic could develop into a tropical depression before it reaches the coast tonight. A broad low is also expected to form in the SW Gulf of Mexico this weekend and track northwest into Mexico next week. Impacts for Southeast Texas should be minimal this time. But slightly higher tides, spotty downpours, and a high rip currents risk will likely stick around next week.

The third is in the eastern Pacific with just a low shot to become a tropical depression or storm. The disturbance in the Gulf will likely stay south of Houston but will bring tropical moisture and higher rain chances next week.

Tropical Update: Areas of concern being monitored
The tropics are heating up with 3 areas of concern that the National Hurricane Center will be monitoring. There's an area around Florida, the Southwest Gulf of Mexico & in the eastern Pacific that's being monitored for tropical cyclone development. In Southeast Texas, our main focus will be the possible development of a broad area of low pressure in the SW Gulf of Mexico. Right now, there's a 30% chance that a tropical system could develop in the Bay of Campeche in the southern Gulf of Mexico over the next 7 days. If it develops, this system should stay to our south but will spread a plume of tropical moisture our way early next week. This will mean the risk for tropical downpours that could increase our flood threat. Models are showing the possibility of 2-4" of rain through Tuesday for parts of the area. Keep checking back for more updates!

Tropical Update: First tropical wave in the Gulf
The first tropical wave of the season has formed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, Invest 90-L. Tropical moisture from this new disturbance in the eastern Gulf of Mexico will bring a big flood threat to South Florida in the next few days. This disturbance will not impact SE Texas. But another big plume of tropical moisture is forecast to surge into the Gulf early next week. There's a chance a weak Gulf low could develop. But whether we get a tropical system or not, our rain chances will likely be going up early next week. So plan on more rain that could be heavy at times on Monday and Tuesday. Keep checking back as we get more model updates.
